Sunday Weekly Weigh-In!
The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In 
October 12th!
ongratulations to All for your accomplishments this past week!
I'm keeping A "Weekly Weigh-in" here as well as on the New-Men’s-Only-Board
Because many of the Guys, both here and there (newly arriving from OH)
Have used it for over a year to keep track of their changes, and see how they and others are doing over a sustained period of time.
...just in your first weeks home? Hang in there,
It DOES GET EASIER!
.... just hitting your first stall? It happens to many....
Eventually you will be able to scan back over the last months of this weekly post,
And get a fairly clear picture of the fact that there isn’t a "Typical" progress,
Just persistent, overwhelming - PROGRESS!
Yes, using the scales can make some crazy,
(Slower loss is Still Loss!)
-But-
Keeping track and forcing myself to "Watch It!"
Has been the "What works for Me," for maintaining my loss.
I’ll eat, but know that I need to exercise a little bit more
If the numbers climb just a little.
That way,
I only make "Little" adjustments to my weekly routine.
If the "Scales Make You Discouraged?"
Then STAY OFF of Them!
But for those who Are weighing in-
Drum roll--------------------------------------
Hop your Azz up on the Scales!
How much have you lost?
Since Surgery?
Or in Pre-Op Diet?
And has the Scale moved this week for you?
If so, How Much?
My Starting Weight? – 385 +
All Time Low – 179
Me?- [Saturday Night Weight, so hoping it's maybe a touch lower in the morning...]
188 (no change this week...)

Best Wishes-

Capricious; Impulsive, Semi-Predictable
Still on a slow but steady decline. This is the 92nd week of my weight loss journey. I am steadily sneaking up on the Doctors Goal of 225#, but I am still firmly focused on MY goal of 195#. After I hit MY goal, I may even try to sneak on down to 189# just to make it an even 200# lost, but even if I just stabilize in the 195# - 200# range, I will have lost roughly ½ of my body weight. With that all being said, here are my results to date.
